Recent advancements in robotics have brought us closer to a future where robot hands can mimic the dexterity and touch sensitivity of human hands. This marks a significant shift in the field, as the ...

Research could pave the way for a prosthetic hand and robot to be able to feel touch like a human hand. The technology could also be used to help restore lost functionality to patients after a stroke.

Robot skin that senses touch and pain — and triggers instant reflexes — makes robots more like humans. It probably also makes ...

The system's hybrid design is a first for robotic hands, which have typically been too rigid or too soft to replicate a human's touch when handling objects of varying textures and materials. The ...

GAINESVILLE, Fla. (WCJB) - In this week’s Tech Tuesday, our partners at UF Innovate and SCAD Media highlight Dr. Eric Du and his lab at UF’s Herbert Wertheim College of Engineering, who are working on ...

Robots excel at many things, but having a good sense of touch is not among them. Whether dropping items or pinching them too tightly, which crushes the object, many robots struggle with these basic ...

The company will display its advanced uSkin® sensor technology for humanoid, robotic hands and grippers that provides an enhanced human sense of touch for the performance of complex and precision ...

A robotic hand can pick up 24 different objects with human-like movements that emerge spontaneously, thanks to compliant materials and structures rather than programming. When you reach out your hand ...

Biohybrid robots work by combining biological components like muscles, plant material, and even fungi with non-biological materials. While we are pretty good at making the non-biological parts work, ...

Johns Hopkins University engineers have developed a pioneering prosthetic hand that can grip plush toys, water bottles, and other everyday objects like a human, carefully conforming and adjusting its ...
